Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Skills Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I got to them just by sending an email to HR department, asking if they were hiring people.

Once they gave me an OK to my resume and cover letter, I had three interviews with three different persons.

I was asked to make a numerical test (logical series, easy) and I was shown a chart where they asked me what I would do with the asset (to see your approach to the markets).

In this last question, be very conservative, they don't want aggressive traders.

First round finished, they called me back some weeks after, I had the final round with a numerical test (aprox. 50 sums and multiplications, two figure numbers, easy) and a call with someone from the board of the company. He will try to get you nervous about anything, control yourself and show him you are good at working with pressure.

I was called some weeks after by HR department, I had the job.

Environment at the office is good, young people working hard to try to make money everyday. Bosses incentive you to word harder and harder in order to get success.
